It is narrated from Hazrat Asma bint Umais (may Allah be pleased with her) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked me, "Which medicine do you use as a laxative?" I replied, "Shabram" (which is the name of a herb). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "It is very hot." Then I started using the herb called "Sana" as a laxative. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "If there were a cure for death in anything, it would be in Sana."

Musa Jahni says that once I was present in the service of Fatimah bint Ali. My companion Abu Sahl asked her, "How old are you?" She replied, "Eighty-six years." Abu Sahl asked, "Have you heard any hadith from your father?" She said, "Asma bint Umais (may Allah be pleased with her) told me that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said to Ali (may Allah be pleased with him): 'Your relation to me is like the relation of Harun (Aaron) to Musa (Moses), except that there will be no prophet after me.'"

It is narrated from Hazrat Asma bint Umais (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) taught me some words which I recite at times of distress «اللَّهُ رَبِّي , لَا أُشْرِكُ بِهِ شَيْئًا» .

It is narrated from Hazrat Asma (may Allah be pleased with her) that on the third day after the martyrdom of Hazrat Ja'far (may Allah be pleased with him), the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to me and said: "Do not observe mourning after today."

It is narrated from Hazrat Asma (may Allah be pleased with her) that Muhammad bin Abi Bakr was born at the place of Bayda. Hazrat Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) mentioned this to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Tell her to perform ghusl (ritual bath) and recite the talbiyah."

Kallab bin Talid, "who belonged to Banu Sa'd bin Layth," was once sitting with Hazrat Sa'id bin al-Musayyib when a messenger from Nafi' bin Jubayr came to him and said, "Your nephew sends you greetings and asks about that hadith which you mentioned to me regarding Hazrat Asma bint Umais (may Allah be pleased with her)?" Sa'id bin al-Musayyib replied that Hazrat Asma bint Umais (may Allah be pleased with her) told me that she heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Whoever endures the hardships and difficulties of Madinah with patience, I will intercede and bear witness for him on the Day of Resurrection."

It is narrated from Hazrat Asma (may Allah be pleased with her) that when Hazrat Ja'far (may Allah be pleased with him) and his companions were martyred, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to my house. At that time, I had put forty hides for tanning, had kneaded the flour, and had bathed and cleaned my children and applied oil to them. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Bring Ja'far's children to me." I brought them, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) began to smell them, and tears were flowing from his eyes. I said: "O Messenger of Allah! May my parents be sacrificed for you, why are you crying? Has any news come regarding Ja'far and his companions?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes, today they have been martyred." Hearing this, I stood up and began to scream, and other women also gathered around me. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) left and went to his family and said: "Do not be heedless of the family of Ja'far, prepare food for them, for they are occupied with the matter of their companion."

It is narrated from Hazrat Fari’ah (may Allah be pleased with her) that once my husband set out in search of some of his non-Arab slaves. He found them at the bank of Qadoom, but all of them together killed him. When the news of my husband’s death reached me, I was living in a house far from my family. I presented myself before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and mentioned this incident, saying that I had received the news of my husband’s death and I was living in a house far from my family. My husband had left neither any provision nor any wealth for inheritance, nor did he have any house. If I go to my family and brothers, it would be easier for me in some matters. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Go.”But when I was about to leave the mosque or the chamber, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called me and said that you should observe your waiting period (‘iddah) in the same house where the news of your husband’s death reached you, until the ‘iddah is completed. So I spent four months and ten days there. Once, Hazrat Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) also asked me about this hadith, which I narrated to him, and he accepted it.

The previous hadith is also narrated through this second chain of transmission.

It is narrated from Hazrat Yasirah, "who is among the emigrant female companions," that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said to us: O women of the Muslims! Make tasbih (glorification), tahleel (declaration of the oneness of Allah), and taqdees (sanctification) obligatory upon yourselves; do not be heedless lest you forget the mercy of Allah, and count these tasbihat on your fingers because on the Day of Resurrection you will be questioned about them and they will be granted the power of speech.
